There are some experimental models made specifically for use with Home Assistant, for example home-llm.

Even though they are tiny 1-3B I’ve found them to work much better than even 14B general purpose models. Obviously they suck for general purpose questions just by their size alone.

That being said they’re still LLMs. I like to keep the “prefer handling commands locally” option turned on and only use the LLM as a fallback.

The game “Deep Rock Galactic”

Space dwarves (solo or co-op) mining in procedurally generated caves while getting bugged by the local fauna.

There are a few different mission types, four unique classes and a vast weapon upgrade system to explore.

Also features the best (non-voip) communication system ever.

Highly recommend. Rock and Stone!

Opening the app for the first time on my Fairphone 5 (listed as unsupported) actually crashed the OS, but after that it seems to be working ok.

Closing out of the in-app gallery causes the app to crash. But that can easily be worked around by using some other gallery app.

I’ll be testing it for a bit to see how it fares against other HDR methods…

Why not set up backups for the Proxmox VM and be done with it?

Also makes it easy to add offsite backups via the Proxmox Backup Server in the future.

This person had the same issue and they’ve just logged out and in again

Dann lieber auf das Kreuz:

Auch Mischformen, bei denen die Wurst anstelle von Jesus direkt ans Kreuz genagelt wird oder bei denen zwei gekreuzte Würste ein Kruzifix (sog. Wurstifix) bilden, sind erlaubt.

Not a monetary one, no.

I started out with WireGuard. As you said its a little finicky to get the config to work but after that it was great.

As long as it was just my devices this was fine and simple but as soon as you expand this service to family members or friends (including not-so-technical people) it gets too annoying to manually deal with the configs.

And that’s where Tailscale / Headscale comes in to save the day because now your workload as the admin is reduced to pointing their apps to the right server and having them enter their username and password.

Sorry I don’t have a recommendation for you but this question often comes up in the Home-Assistant (local-first home automation software) community. So maybe have a look around those channels as well.

Getting the configs to work with my personal devices was already a little finicky but doing that for not-so-technical family members was starting to be a bit too much work for me.

I’m hoping that Headscale will cut that down to pointing their app at the server and having them enter their username and password.

Was running Wireguard and am now in the process of changing over to Tailscale (Headscale).

It uses Wireguard for the actual connections but manages all the wireguard configs for you.

As in video wallpapers? Sure. KDE Plasma for one lets you install a bunch of wallpaper plugins ranging from video playback to live computed shaders and everything in between.

Cool to see support for the QOI format in a popular software package.

Nextcloud is just a web service. How he or anyone can access it is not determined by nextcloud but by the routers, firewalls, vpns and potentially reverse proxies that are routing the traffic to nextcloud.

With the proper configuration of all traffic handling services it will not be possible to access anything other than the intended endpoint i.e. nextcloud.

Within nextcloud any user can only access their own files plus anything that is explicitly shared to them.

Might not fit into your plans but if you run Proxmox you can easily backup to an offsite computer (or VM) running Proxmox Backup Server (PBS).

From their website:

By supporting incremental, fully deduplicated backups, Proxmox Backup Server significantly reduces network load and saves valuable storage space. With strong encryption and methods of ensuring data integrity, you can feel safe when backing up data, even to targets which are not fully trusted.
